ne HAD AN IDEA.

me simple Invention which drought .
Fortune to . Pioddins German.
I ran across one OF these men with an
idea the other day. He IS n middle aged
German and he lives on Vanderbilt
avenue. A few years ago he was n very
ordinary fellow, drudging away at
trade, with the prospect OF always being
poor and drudge. That was what his
neighbors thought OF him. But, while
he was pounding away he emulated tho
example Of the widows famous cow,
didn't say much, but kept up n divyil Of
n thinkin'.n One day he got up from his
bench Il think il was n bench, though IL
might have been = tailor's table or q
butchers block; anyhow, the plodding
German knocked of from his trade and
ne went ont OF the shop with an idea
His friends noticed no change I'm their
plodding neighbOr. IL they noticed him
at all, il was TO reflect what hopeless
drudge OF n German he was. Meanwhile,
he went right ahead with his idea.
Then some OF his friends discovered
that he did not come back TO his bench.
That worried them little. A few weeks
later they observed that he went over TO
New York every day and was beginning
TO dress better and spruce up bit. That
really gave them a great deal OF concern.
The next thing they took note OF was
that the petty German tradesman had
begun 10 build new house. Then they
were terribly cut up. Finally the whole
thing came out. The Vanderbilt avenue
Germans idea was simple enough, but &c
has already made him rich and the money
keeps coming in. His idea originated
the small cardboard signs, with varie-
gated letters upon them, seen around the
walls OF every popular restaurant. The
letters look like letters cut out OF wall
A hn
German thought OF an improvement and
he tried making the letters OF prettily
figured calico. That gave the little signs
greater durability, and as he had prepared
n glue especially adapted 90 sticking on
the letters, IL struck him 20 apply for a
patent.
Simple rs was the whole thing, he got
HIS patent. II has filled his purse and
lifted him out OF the life OF n drudge. tSk5
Not only in every popular restaurant in
Brooklyn are these attractive little signs
TO be found announcing specinlties on
the bill OF fare each day, and thus making
the demand constant, but in many bar
rooms, drug stores, waiting rooms, hotel
corridors, Offices and scores OF other
plnces they serve n diversity OF purposes
From Brooklyn and New York restau-
rants the popularity OF the vAriegated card
signs extended 20 other cities, until now
the little signs arc in common use rs far
east as Boston and as far wet as Chi
cago. Remnants OF cloth arc used in
making the letters, and the cost Is, there
fore, very light. The demand has been
something tremendous, and the plodding
German tradesman OF Vanderbilt avenue
has risen 10 the dignity OF q solid business
man, with his Office in New York, his
family in a new house and prosperity all
around him. -Brooklyn Eagle.

lFrom the King ton Freenan.l
 This morning an old combat was witnessed in Rondout between five robins, about an equal number of spaIrow and a squirrel. The birds were all arrayed against the squir- rel. The fight, which lasted over an hour, wes witnessed by William Van Valkenbergh and wife and several other people. When first discovered the birds were chasing the squirrel from branch to branch of large tree. Each attack was led by robin with a breast redder than the others. The birds swooped down on the squirrel and pecked it with their sharp bills. In vain the little an;- nal tried to catch it's enemies and defend it. self from their repeated attacks. It ran from tree to tree in it's efforts to escape. Its feathered antagonists were always on hand and pecked it unmercifully. Growing tired of continuing the one-sided contest, the squirrel ran down the tree, crossed the road, and moment later wes seen on the roof of Mir. Van Valkenburgh's house. The birds espied it and once more resumed the battle. Down the leader of the house slipped the fiisky little animal, the birds all the while uttering sh1ill c1ies. Across the street it darted back again and up the tree where the fight first began. Attack erter attack was made by robins and spa1.ows. In among the leafy branches and crotches of the tree ran the squirrel, seeking hiding place. The birds gave it no rest, but kept continually darting and peckins at it. Finally it ran to the top of the tree, crawled out on slender limb and dropped on the roof of Mrs. Bar ber's house. It clambered over the roof, pursued by the birds. Dowl the leader it slid rapidly, and 1unning across the yard, disappeared from view and from further pur- suit. It is said that squi1 rels very often steal eggs f.om birds nests and suck them. Probably this squil fel was after eggs and was caught in the act.

True But Remarkable.

IF -om the Dakota Bell.
 "Yes, I'm from Dakota" he said meekly, as he got into conversation with man on an eastern train.
 "Ah, is that sos I am thinking of going out there myself to invest in some farming land"
 "We have some very fine land"
 ''So I understand, but are not some of the stories they tell of it's fertility exaggeratedf' "'Why, my friend, am sorry to say some of them are downright untruths"
 ''That's what thought. Now what is the most remarkable instance of the fertility of Dakota soil which ever came under your eb- servation!'
 'FWsll, I believe the case of my pump might go at the head of the list"
 "What was it?''
 F'I dug well about forty feet deep the first season I WEI there and put down wooden pump. It happened that it was waJ little green, and the soil at the bottom of that well, forty feet from the surface, was so fertile that the pump took root, and it also grew up and branched out, and now while my children play in swing attached to one of the branches, pump water through the hole which still remains in the trunk"
 ''Do you tell that for the t1uth?'
 ''Why, certainly, sir; never tell anything else."
 ''Are you in flaming or the real estate buciness?''
 "Why, I'm engaged in neither, my friend, neither. I'm preacher. I went out there es missionary seven yeals ago, and though my work has been humble, I trust it has had beneficial influence on our people,"

SneeZing Catarrh.

The distressing sneeze, sneeze, sneeze, the acrid watery discharges from the eyes and nose, the painful inflammation extending to the throat, the swelling of the mucous lining, causing choking sensations cough. ringing noises in the head and splitting headaches-how familiar these symptoms are to thousands who suffer periodically from head colds or influenza, and who live in ignorance of the fact that single application of SANFoRDs s RADICAL CURE FOR CATARRH will afford instantaneous relief.
 But this treatment in cases of simple Catarrh gives but faint idea of what this remedy will do in the chronic forms, where the breathing is ob- structed by choking putrid mucous accumuations, the hearing affected, smell and taste gone, throat Liberated and hacking cough gradually fastening itself upon the debitated system Thenit is that the marvellous curative power of SANFoRD's RADICAL CURE manifests itself in instantaneous and grateful relief Cure begins from the first application. It is rapid. radical, permanent, economical, safe.
 SANFoRDs RADICAL CURE consists of bottle of the Radical Cure, one box Catarrhal Solvent and Improved Inhaler; price $1.00.
